comprehensive

This is maybe the most comprehensive and well-researched book on women and addiction. It serves as an excellent resource for anyone interested in this topic. I have given away several copies to friends who were writing papers, etc. on this topic so I keep having to buy new copies for myself.

Substance Abuse among Women

This is a thorough report of scietific research on the differences between men and women and their reactions to the use of tobacco, alcohol and illegal drugs. It is essential reading for anyone needing to understand the topic and those who are caught up in this problem.
